Re: [RC] [RC] Unsupportive spouses - heidi larson

Seems to be a trend, I had the non-horsey husband the first time around, he blamed the divorce on the horse, however, he had a severe denial of alcoholism.  So, sorry, I wouldn't join him in HIS passion.  His addictions were so severe that 2 years ago he took his own life.  My new(ish) husband doesn't ride, but he digs fence post holes, feeds and takes care of horses left at home when I'm at a ride, listens to me do the horsey talk and even seems to get some of it.  He likes the horses and enjoys watching them interact with each other, even has his favorite. I added on to my barn and wouldn't you know it, I have an extra stall that was put in for shavings. While it was being built he looked over at me one day and said, "you don't fool me, that 5th stall is for your new kiger mustang."  Of course I denied it!!   :)    Last week I gave him the news that I may be leasing an arab mare and breeding to a kiger.  Since I had the first A-hole that made me feel guilty every time I spent my own dime on my horse, it is tough to break the guilt-ridden habit, but he only smirked and then helped me look at stallion photos and actually made a well thought out decision on which one he'd use and why.  I was at the Albany Horse Expo yest. (w/o him) and on my return babbled for hours over the horses, the people, how I got to see the stallion we both like, AND......... I got information on my new 3 horse slant with living quarters that I will be getting next month.  He just hugged me and told me he loves me!!!  (It's just a damn good thing I have a good job, and that he thinks I'm hot!!!  Somehow that makes it easier!)
